Paul,,

 

I seem to remember Hotmail having issues with this type of mechanism..

You may want to do a search on Hotmail Violating RFCS or something to
that effect to verify this.

 

Have fun

Subject: Hotmail/MSN postmaster contacts?

 

Any Hotmail/MSN/Live postmasters around?

 

My company sends subscription-based news emails -- which go to thousands
of users within Hotmail/MSN/Live.   I appear to be getting blocked
recently after years of success.

 

I have read the postmaster doco at MSN.  I have put SPFs for SenderID
into many of my news station domains but it doesn't seem to be affecting
my success at delivery over other domains which do not yet have any such
configs.   What am I missing to get unblacklisted?  I can't seem to
find any human contact info on there.

 

Any offline contact would be greatly appreciated.

 

Apologies for the noise.

Wow,, that's pretty heavy.. I understand and can appreciate the passion
involved with this topic. But Ladies and gentlemen, please lets keep it
civil ok.. In some way, shape or form we are all in this together.. Some
may be less informed then others, or perhaps a difference in opinion or
point of view as understood by the individual.. Please when making
sarcastic/ or opinionated comments please consider all parties
involved.. It in my impression this list is used for intelligent,
collaboration, not flame wars over a touchy topic.. so please try to
keep that in mind. ok. I do like the facility this forum provides and
would like to keep it like that, it would be a sad day when people (key
resources) drop off this list due to the over-whelming feeling of being
(crapped on) because of the difference of vision or opinion.. Pls. lets
try and keep it safe ok..
Apologies for the off topic comments, but I truly felt it is/was
necessary..

Eric

 You get a D on those facts because you did not review the  
 literature,
 did not attempt reasonable coverage of the problem space, and did not
 investigate whether or not there were other versions of the software
 that have been patched to support 240/4.

step awy from the crack pipe...

Joe's facts were excellent. I read his email and thought wow, this  
will kill this thread for sure

why on earth would you want to go and hack this stuff together,  
knowing that it WILL NEVER WORK

so, as using these IPs publically isnt feasible why bother privately.  
you may as well use RFC1918 or IPv6. the latter whilst not without  
issues is at least being rolled out as part of a series of standards  
that are 10+yrs old

i am really struggling with some of the logic being given here. more  
specifically the omissions in that logic are glaring.

  not attempt to engineer a solution that will work for everybody
..
 not our reponsibility to fix every problem out there
..
 I believe that people are not that stupid.
..
 We do not have a good reason to deny them that possibility.
..
 This is easy for vendors to fix.
..
 It is a trivial amount of work for the IETF to release the address  
 space
..
 removing the 240/4 blockages could also be considered a trivial  
 level of effort.
..
 those of us who do not want or need 240/4 addresses can ignore it.
..
 The cost is effectively zero in the first case,
..
 why should anyone try and convert them to the one true Internet  
 architecture?

i think you are somewhat deluded.

RE: OT: Visio or Autocad

2007-10-10 Thread Eric Lutvak

It is my uinderstanding that we should use what really works for the
individual.. Just because certain individuals OVERUSE Visio for various
reasons, I feel that the usage of the best tool to fit the situation is
perfectly acceptable. In the end, the printout will still look the same
right?? If people want to update the diagram, I feel if you are the
source of this diagram then unless you specifically delegate control to
someone all revisions should come from or be made by you..

I personally think Visio is way too complex and over done.. 
Microsoft makes it complicated so that they can not only make money on
the purchase of the license, but also rake in the $ from potentially
unnecessary training due to the complexity that they have built into the
nature of the application.. IE: Microsoft: lets make it so everyone
could have a use for it, and lets make it so complicated that we can
recover on the training aspect.. It's the Micro$oft Way, rather than
fight it, just sitback and be assimiliated. Sounds like a startrek
thing.. ;)
Although, on the flipside, Microsoft does have it's place in the
community, most of their applications seem to help increase productivity
and seem to be researched and developed pretty deeply..
Bottom line is, Time and place for everything.

Thanks 4 ur time and attention, all the best, 
e.

Stephen,

I still use Corel Draw 3 for my network diagrams, so its not unheard
of to use something other than Visio.

The main benefit to Visio comes when -someone else- needs to make an
update to your network diagram. They probably have access to a copy of
Visio and enough knowledge about using it to make a minor tweak to
your diagram. The same can't be said of Autocad. Or Corel Draw.
